Exact quantum mechanical vibration-rotation kinetic energy operator of four-particle system in various coordinates

摘要

The vibration-rotational kinetic energy operators of four-particle system in various coordinates are derived using a new and simple angular momentum method. The operators are respectively suitable for studying the systems described by scattering coordinate, valence coordinate, Radau coordinate, Radau/Jacobi and Jacobi/valence hybrid coordinates and so on. Certain properties of these operators and their possible applications are discussed.
